Yep. They would dive back down at each other. They crossed with in 100 yards of us. The boat shook as they went by. I also think it was called the Cleveland Air Races, not Air Show. We were out there all day with a pylon judge. |

Looks beautiful, Don. I can't wait to see it finished! |

Is this it, Huey? |

Think I have a picture of it, but having the same problem getting it to post. Back then I was using a Kodak box camera with 620 Kodachrome. Shutter speed = very slow and the color has deteriorated. If I can figure it out again, I'l post it. |

I have never seen them. |

Have you ever seen the Snowbirds perform? I think they're the best. |

1965 at the Cleveland Airshow I was on a 35' Christcraft on pylon #1. I watched the Thunder Birds perform in F100's. One monuver they crossed 100 yards from us after the bomb burst. Unforgettable. |

I have seen the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels several times over the years and while both are incredible, I think the Blue Angels are more impressive. |

These guys were friendlier. |

I would appreciate that very much. Do you still have my information from the F4U wheels? |
David Duckett, Comment for image # 38806 | 10 Jun 17 15:20 |
I have the main ones, molded from those on an Avenger, if you want them. |
Don C, Comment for image # 38806 | 10 Jun 17 11:31 |
Measured from plans: Main 1 1/16", nose 7/8". Calculated from real sizes to 1/24 scale: main 1", nose 3/4". That leaves a little wiggle room. Thanks. |

Sizes? |
Don C, Comment for image # 38806 | 09 Jun 17 16:15 |
Tried Hobbylink and Squadron, but can't find wheels. Anybody have a different source? |
